Germany Crushed in 1939, Impacts on Japan

Just like the title; assuming the Allies launch a full-blown invasion of Germany during the Battle of Poland and defeat Germany, what would be the effects on Japan and the war against China?

It doesn't change much for Japan. The timeline for its snabbing of French Indochina might change a bit, depending on just how fast this French insanity results in its utter destruction, but otherwise it keeps on trucking as normal. Don't see why France dying a few weeks earlier/later would change US involvement against Japan either.

So France is still strong and has a good navy in play and can send troops to French Indochina if the Imperial Japanese look like getting frisky, and the Netherlands/Holland are still in control of their own country and economy and able to send reinforcements and equipment to the Dutch East Indies?

Japan wouldn't dare try to take FIC if the UK and France are undistracted by a war in Europe. The Japanese advance in China would probably grind to a halt especially if the WAllies send surplus older weapons to the Chinese after the Germans are defeated in Europe.

This. Japan from September of 1939 to the Summer of 1940 assumed a Pro Anglo-French attitude, in reaction to the Molotov Pact.

Yes.

Any chance this could get meaningful results?
